And as for this 'buying their primary phone' business . . . yeah, I can see why folks would be interested in getting as much out of their cell as humanly possible. The selection and buying power for the consumer here in Canada BLOWS GOAT BALLS. We pay ass amount of money for services others laugh at.
And finally, smartphones just plain suck. They're too small for me to read, have no keyboard, which is mad amounts of useless since I actually like growing nails, and I HATE the social impact they have. Yes, yes, that netbook, you have *GASP* put effort into using it, settling it on a surface, actually, you know, paying attention to it. But I much rather that and this continued delusion that folks have about their smartphones and their 'discret' use.
Honestly. I call it a WANG for a reason. It seems like it takes barely a unanswered question or a LULL in the conversation for folks to whip them out and fuck around with them. Just becuase it's small like a cell phone doesn't mean I don't know that whatever it is that's going on around just isn't engaging enough to keep your attention. I know you aren't checking appointments in relation to the conversation.
And I remember those handheld computers from a while ago. I used to sell them, if you can believe. They sucked balls too. Why? Because folks tried to sell them as something they weren't, a powerful, portable computer.
You want a powerful, portable computer? Drop a grand on a laptop. You want a cellphone with (expensive) internet? Get a smart phone. You want a wee compy small enough to fit in a bag, that gives you internet access where's there some to be had, in the city, in the coffee houses, in your bedroom, school, libray, friends's house, that doesn't weigh a tonne? Get a netbook.
